Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa presents this sweet 1955 Ford Thunderbird, a classic icon of American automotive design. This lovely bird has been in the same family since 1983! Then restored personally by the same owner in 1987! And has been this way ever since. Its obvious this car was well cared for. From the striking red paint to the near mint chrome and trim, this T-bird is a head turner. The fit and finish is awesome, and the underside is as nice as the top. Its hard to believe the restoration is 37 years old! The interior wears red and white vinyl on the seat with thick plume red carpet and supple red dash pas with great looking stainless trim and nobs across the dash. Almost looks new. The engine bay is detailed, and everything is in its place. No hints of leaks or neglect. In fact, the 292ci V8 fires up in an instant and idles smooth as it should. Take the old girl for a ride and youll be pleased to find it runs and drives well. Except for touchy breaks and a need for slight carb tweak, the car drives great! The roof looks new and stores away as it should, and the Factory Hardtop is finished in red and comes with the car. However, the hardtop is not currently in the showroom. Come see this sharp 55 T-bird today. Its a long-loved Family heirloom in need of a new curator. A proud addition to any collectors fleet, or near-show ready driver for someone to enjoy.
